hysterical - Story 69529 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the room felt thick, heavy. Kevin was breathing shallowly, his chest a tight, painful drum. His heart was hammering against his ribs, a frantic rhythm. He felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

He felt a deep, gnawing emptiness. His hands trembled as he slowly reached for the phone. He needed to talk to someone. He dialed a number, his fingers fumbling with the keys. The phone rang and rang and rang. No answer.

He threw the phone. It shattered against the wall. The sound of the glass breaking was somehow satisfying. He felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
